State/Lake Elevated Station

About this Project

JLK is providing architectural design and Section 106 consulting services for one of Chicago’s most utilized CTA stations at the intersection of State and Lake Streets.

JLK is designing a new station to replace the existing to improve functionality, safety and accessibility. We are exceedingly sensitive to the station’s context within the historic Loop CTA system, and our design includes salvage and reuse of historic material.

JLK has worked closely with SOM on design, including a canopy that provides full coverage of the headhouse, platform and tracks.

JLK is also the historic preservation consultant for the project. Activities include close coordination with the design team to address historic preservation concerns, historic research, survey of historic elements, and Section 106 reports and consultation.
